 From what I learned about the WG it's basically pretty happy as long as
you don't "instantly" reposition the beam farther than 1/2 of a screen
axis away. That's frustrating since most of the Sega games would
probably work just fine if their draw order was a little different. The
single most "problematic" part of the display for the Wells Gardner 6100
is that the Sega games "jump" from the score displays (at a far edge of
the screen) to the game objects which can be far away from the edge. If
they'd just jump to the center of the screen, and then jump to the game
objects it'd be fine. (Not coincidentally that's the behavior of the
Atari AVG...)
